The stockholders of the "Wichita "Water
company, on yesterday closed the sale of
their entire plant and franchise to the Amer
ican Water Works and Guarantee company
(limited) of LIcEeesport, Pa. This company,
which now owns and operates water works
iu nineteen ci ies, and is purchasing and
constructing work at the rate of two or three
per month, is backed by millions of capital
and have their business the most thoroughly
systematized of any institution in the coun
try. Weekly reports are sent to the parent
office from all their works showing the num
ber of gallons furnished, number of pounds
of coal consumed, number of new consumers,
wath increase or decrease of revenues, and
every detail iu exact figures. They give no
Loud but mako all improvomeuts with their
own capital.
They will immediately proceed to over
haul and reconstruct the entire plant of this
city and bring it to the front a? the model
works of the state a system worthy of the
foremost city of Kansas.
The National Tube "Works, being large
stockholders of this company, furnish
all their pipe without delay. As quick as
the weather tvill permit in the early spring
they will begin the laj'ug of iron mains and
will make all extensions oedered by the city
without delay.
A new engine and pump house, new pump
ing machinery, the covering of the wells, the
parking and ornamentation of the gi ound?,
are among the improvements that will be be
gun within ton das.
Mr. W. S. ICuhn, the secretary of the
American "Water Works company, and who
acted as that company's agent in purchasing
the "Wichita "Water "Works plant, called last
evening in company with Colonel Lewis. Mr.
K. .-ays that tho lirst thing he did was to
order lour miles of additional iion
mains and that early in tho spring
heavier pumps and machmcrj- would
replace the piesent plant. in fact
the whole city will be torn up ttnd tho
system s-o arranged that the supply will go
through the city by two direction;.. jo that if
an accident should occur on one tet oi mains
the How could be imniedir.tcly sent through
by the other direction.
As tho Eagle has maintained, ihe old
company, being composed of business men
who had other matters to look after, were
more or leas embarrassed, but had fully met
its obligat ons and the extraordinary do
mauds made upon them. But, of cour.-e, the
new service and new plant will be metropol
itan in their proportions. That AVichita will
now and speedily have the bet and met ef
fective system of water works of any city in
the state, there can be no doubt.
THE LATEST SCHEME.
',1 can give 3ou today the latest scheme
out," said a corpulent gentleman of years
yesterday, as he braced up against tho .ter
rific wind.
"What is it?"' was the reply of a friend to
whom the eff ujiou was directed.
''Its another railroad racket," was the re
ply. "Its a uuiou passenger depot. It is yet
in a semi-chaoric state but it will get there
if an axle don't break."
"A number of the capitalists interested in
the north part of the ciy and a lew who are
interested personally at other cardinal points
are making an effort to have tha union pas
senger depot located at the j)oint where the
Santa Fo and Ft. Scott cross, which is near
Seventh street. The Frisco aud "Wi -hita &
Western have access to the same point, aud
the Rock Inland survey leads to the same
point, while it is the most convenient place
the Kansas Midland can have a depot. The
location being one "highly commendable has
suggested to these geutleman that
some assistance in the way of
a bonus would be sufficient to lend a solution
to this much mooted question."
"How about dumpiug the people oft at the
north polo of the city? That won't be very
convenient will it?" was the questions which
interrupted the speaker at this point of his
discourse.
"See here, hear all the facts before you
cliuch a conclusion," was the impatient reply.
"Sun-ose you have been hearing something
of thee motor lines. "Well, ouo of Ihemn
will run from the depot on Fourth
avenue to Douglas avenue. A car ready
to accommodate passengers of each
train will give cheap, rapid and convenient
transit to the central part of the city. This
will settle the dumping question, you see, aud
settle it effectively to auy one who will look
at it philosophical!'."
Tho gentleman's little scheme did not seem
to be plausabls to thefew who hud stood
tho storm for the purpose of gaining point
ers. This fact did not appear a happy one
to the gentleman who appeared to be on the
inside of things.

An Eagle reporter was yesterday shown
at the bakery of Jo. Koehler, on North
Main street a luagnilicent banner iu-t re
ceived from Bcnzigar Bros., of New York,
for the Knights of St. Jo-eph.
It is a magnificent piece of workmanship
and is said to be the finest banner owned by
airy private society in the state.
The banner is eight feet in length and four
in breadth, is made from the best quality of
figured white silk aud is surrounded by a
heavy gold fringe. Upon one side as a
center piece is an oil painting of the head of
St. Joseph, and around it the inscription in
giit letters, "Knights of St. Joseph, "Wichita,
Kansas. Organized May 24, ISS4." Ou the
reverse as a centerpiece is an oil painting of
tho Holy family, a copy of rare excellence
from the old masters, and surrouudiug it
richly embroidered hand work in silver and
gold. Tho banner was secured b the
Knights and through the efforts of Mr.
Koehler, at tho cost of S200 aud is one of
which they mav justly be proud.

The commence 1 operations in the a.ternoon
in order to get a goo 1 start when tho time
for such busiuess should put in an appear
ance. After making the rounds and feeling
satisfied that their work for the night was
mainly over they repaired to tho Occidental
hotel where they had secured a room before
commencing operations. Tn tho room as
signed them were two trunks, which, iu the
eyes of the staggering crowd, were "paiufully
large and took up far too much room. It
was proposed l3' one aud accepted by all
that the disgustiug. trunks should go out of
the window. It must be remembered that
they were located on tho third story, but the
distance the trunks had to travel was no
qunstion. And if the trunks went out the
window as proposed, followed at a close in
terval by its companion.
Ihey were then contented as well as a
"boozed'' brain would allow but tho clerk
appeared on the slvuo shortly and revised

any thing farther about the trunks.
Mr. Charles Adams reports having had ti
fiue time back in tho cheerful hills of AVest
Virginia. He and his family lately returne 1
from a month's v sit in tho central part of
the state. Ho was thero wjiile the political
campaign was ac its highest and found a
commonwealth absorbed in the political pro-
Lfe-sion, which is the sols occupation during
campaign years.
Mr. Adams seems to think but little
change has taken place since ho left there
over ten years ago. About the same number
of trees arc standing aud tho stumps still
hold the fort in tho meadows and pasture
lauds while the cliffs look as fearless as ever.
His visit gave him au extra chance to see the
wide differenco in the questions that com
mand most attention iu the east aud tnose
that hold most prominent positions" in tho
west.
He was daily besio'ged by people who had
often heard of the wauderful city of Wichita
and were anxious to inquire of the business
prospects in tho various professions. A
number expressed their intention to come
here as soon as matter-, could be arranged in
a way to aanut oi a ciiaiige.
CHRISTIAN RKV1VAL.
If there have bten any doubts touching the
Eagle's claim of the past that AVichita from
her environments was destined to become
the distributing center of Western Kansa
and the IncUan Territory, that at the conflu
ence of the Little and Great Arkansas rivers
the commercial metropolis of Kansas would
inevitably be built, the past few months
have dispelled all such doubts by whomso
ever entertained. Of the great massive busi
ness houses, of fifty feet frontage by one
hundred and forty feci deep, built during the
season just closing, every one has been
leased or purchased by new and
heavy mercantile firms. Wholesale
houses representing almost every conceivable
line have been added within the three months
pasr, aud unfinished buildings are being
pushed forward to meet tho leases and cou -tracts
made by still other firms who but wait
the expiration of the contract time to open
out. Among the great firms who have been
seeking an opportunity to put in a jobbing
interest here is tho great and well known
grocerj house of Nave, McCord & Co. This
firm, whose houses aro to be found at
Omaha, Kansas City and St. Joseph, and we
believe other points, yesterday leased the
three story building on Don
of the Carey Houe.
gronnd floor, and within a few
days will be packed by the goods
of tho above firm, who have for months
been endeavoring to get such a buildiug as
would accommodate their tradojalready es
tableshed in the southwest. This firm is
welcomed by the Eagle, which will this
morning carry the news to the business men
of a hundred towns of southwest Kansas,
and not only welcomed but congratulated
upon the fact that they have even at this
date succeeded in establishing their.house at
a base which must sweep on until wiChiii the
brirfest period she will stand without a rival
in her facilities for reaching and supplying
the most prosperous and rapidly de elnphog
country to be found in tho great west.

l'OLJCK COURT.
The howling wild wind was still ou deck
yesterday in great shape. The storm of the
previous night had disposed of a major por
tion of the weaker signs, which gave tho
shivering pedestrian a better chance for his
1 fe. The streets were not crowded so much
as usual but still presented tho appearance of
a live city. Run a block, if you could, and
then pull in for repairs, if there
wits any chance, was the program followed
by a number of pedestrians. Few were no
ticed who sought the owner of a passing hat,
dilapidated by being tossed over material,
without regard to previous condition of serv
itude. A "bee-gum"' hat rolling along the
street at a 2:0 gait and an irate, stand-up
collar owner, with hair ou end, pursuing it
as fast as he could, was a very ordinary oc
currence. The thermometer played all day a few de
grees below the freezing point, bat the in
dustrious breeze caused one to think he had
struck a slice of the arctic region. Work on
nearly all the buildings was suspended.
Most of the gas lights wro blown out last
night and Tuesday night. The super
intendent of the company says that
if tho council will get a closed globe tho com
pany will willingly get them in place of the
boulevard globo which is now being ii'-ed.
The former would protect the light and make
it impossible to blow it out.
Some of the circuits of tho Schuyler com
pany were injured by tho storm Tuesday
niht. The damage done will inconvenience
the company to no small extent.
The county building was thronged yester
day afternoon by a number of office birds
who had gone there as they claimed seeking
a retreat from the storm. The general com
plaint filed was that the chimneys all "draw
down'' and they were compelled to vamoose
the rauch, as the' were unable to turn the
contrary chimneys upside down so as to give
the smoke the proper direction.
John Doe, a wretched forlorn looking spec
imen of humanity, was up for vagrancy.
He was fined $12, but execution of his sen
tence was suspended to allow him time to
leave the city.
J. W. Board paid 20 for violating the li
quor ordinance.
Michael O'Donnell, who had been very
drunk the day before, was fined $."i for the
offense. He had not so much money, and
was committed.
Richard Roe was also drunk,
and he too was fined a similar amount, but
unlike tho former culprit had the money to
save himself from remaining in the cooler.
This was the same party who had snatched
tho o bill from the hand of a boy at the cor
ner of Market and Douclas. He attoned for
this offense by handing over to the officer
tho money, and the young man was made
correspondingly happy, but will uo doubt be
moro careful as to exhibit his wealth in
public.
An o3'ster supper will be given at tho Con
gregational church next Tuesday ovening.
